Note that among semi-technical users IE8-and-down usage is less than 3% of visits, and can only be expected to go down.

LastPass is almost certainly going to have 1% or fewer visitors using IE8.

It would be absolutely reasonable if their site looked ugly to users of unpopular, old browsers that weren’t even good when they were knew.

The real question is why are you still using IE8?

"I'm at work"

I can choose to use a Firefox stand alone install, but that does not have flash set up. And the world is still lonely without it.

In essence, I have been too lazy to find a better solution than the "it's there and it just works" solution..

Try out Chrome frame. It's an IE plugin that uses Chrome's rendering engine instead of IE's. It can be installed without admin privileges so it should work in almost all work environments. http://www.google.com/chromeframe

I have that actually :\ Google blog posts stopped displaying after I installed it. I thought that was slightly ironic.
